    It is absurd. It’s downright insane. So when he arrives, arrest the genocidal maniac, so Israelis can elect a less absurd leader and start repairing their disgusting reputation.

        The US might help fund the active genocide, but no way it’s getting its hands dirty in Europe for netty. Israel may try to respond, though.

      The executive tends to lean right in any given country. If anything they are motivated to oblige and let that fuckwit in. On red carpet no less.
